Excellent 3 night stay in a quiet, creekside campground

Campground: Indian Creek

Overall: This is a very nice, small, quiet commercial campground way off of the beaten path. Very friendly folks, clean and well-kept with a mixture of site options. It is very shady and many sites are right along Bunch Creek, so with a Reservation Fishing permit you can fish from your backyard! I’d come back! 

Getting there: 9.5 miles out of Cherokee just a bit off Big Cove Road. Turn right on Bunch Creek Cove Road 

Check in and staff: Courteous and helpful. Just plain nice. 

Amenities: Good well stocked camp store, sites with water, power, both. Pretty creekside sites. Caveat: NO ATT service and Wi-Fi spotty and slow except when in pavilion. If connectivity is important(and it legitimately can be), this might not be the place for you. There is an outside double sink for doing dishes and cleaning fish. It was always clean and had extra dish soap, sponges, plastic grocery bags and trash can right nearby. 

Bathrooms: clean, well kept with lots of hot water! 

Site: Level gravel covered sites, some with more privacy than others. Fire pit and movable table provided. You can buy kiln dried wood for use—the store has it and delivers it to your site. It needs splitting so consider bringing an axe. Mosquitoes not much of a problem but there are no-see-ems that can be annoying after a rain but citronella candles(available at store) and bug spray did the trick.

Nearby: Town of Cherokee, Mingo Falls (a short 0.44 mile round trip hike up 161 stairs, then a relatively level trail to the base of a beautiful waterfall.  Upper trail closed.
